Tilda's in the frame: Make It Colourful challenge card

Hello everyone, hope you've all got the Friday feeling and are looking forward to a good weekend. I've spent today crafting and made this card using a digi image of a floral frame from Make It Crafty and a Magnolia Tilda. I coloured the frame and flowers, then made a mask for them and stamped the Tilda image over the top of the mask so that she ends up behind the frame. I printed off the frame image again and cut out the flowers which I then decoupaged onto the ones on my frame after shaping them and adding a bit of glitter. The papers were aged, distressed and hand-stitched, and I added some lace, ribbons and pearls to finish off.

Shiny hair, shiny metal frame

This is for the Make It Colourful challenge, which this week is to show at least 2 things that shine in your colouring...not to use glitter or gloss to make the image shine, but to actually use your colouring to show the shine.

﻿﻿﻿﻿

On my image, I've given Tilda's hair some shine and also coloured the frame to look metallic. Well, I'm not sure how well I've achieved that! It's not easy to do, but that's the point of the challenge, to try new things outside of your comfort zone.

This is also my card for the Magnolia-licious challenge, which is to include a frame in your design and at least one of each of these: bling/pearls (I have lots of them, lol), ribbon/trim (I used lace trim), Magnolia image (tick!) and flowers (again, tick!). And I found a challenge this week which I wanted to enter: Sundays With Crissy which has Stitching as the challenge. Hope you like it.

This is another stunning card, Carole!! :) The whole card is so pretty and the images look made to go together- your colouring is amazing, I'm useless at leaving areas of light with my PMs so I'm in awe of your images!! :DThanks for your comment on my card last week and for the suggestions regarding my wonky butterflies!! The camera is a great idea- have done that before when I've got something right and don't want to forget when I take it apart to apply glue, etc. but it didn't occur to me this time!!lol Think you're right about the mood you're in at the time, too- I had no truck with 'all the same way' that day at all!! ;)Hope you have a good weekend,hugs, Rachel x
